A TAK1 cytokine toxicity checkpoint controls anti-cancer immunity: Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Here we reveal TAK1 as a tumor-intrinsic checkpoint that limits anti-tumor immunity @Kearney_Lab @Vervoort_Lab cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Excited to share our latest pre-print identifying TAK1 as a tumour intrinsic checkpoint that limits CTL-derived cytokine-induced cell death and immunotherapy responses. Brilliant collaboration between @Kearney_Lab @ONJCRI and @Vervoort_Lab @WEHI_research. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

A post doc position is available in my lab @ONJCRI 🔬 If you are interested in investigating tumour immune escape using genomics and CRISPR please get in touch!!!

We’ve known about tolerant CD8+ T cells for >25 yrs – but what are these cells?! Prematurely exhausted, stalled effectors, or something else? Our latest @ImmunityCP paper takes a deep dive into this question with some unexpected results, including a link to cancer… (1/)

A Post Doc position is available in my Molecular Immunology lab (MIL) @ONJCRI. Co-appointment with @Vervoort_Lab @WEHI_research. If you are interested in new tech (CRISPR and singe cell) to study Cancer Immunology please get in touch!

🎉 Let’s celebrate #anticancer champions, Conor @Kearney_Lab and Matthias @lab_ernst for securing a collective $4.3 million in @nhmrc funding! Get ready for a new era in cancer treatment options as the team at ONJCRI unite against cancer. Are you with us?

We celebrated St Patrick's day with a pot of research gold! Dr Conor Kearney and collaborators unveiled ground-breaking findings that significantly contribute to our #Anticancer fight - a finding as thrilling as a jig on a Temple Bar! 🍀 Read more onjcri.org.au/latest-news/ma…

@ajithvasanthan @KalliesLab @NatImmunol @Santiago_VaTo @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS @ONJCRI @LIMSLTU Congrats @ajithvasanthan and @KalliesLab , fantastic work!!!

@KalliesLab and I are excited to share our latest study in @NatImmunol dissecting the heterogeneity and function of VAT Tregs. Huge effort from @Santiago_VaTo and Kevin Man @TheDohertyInst @UniMelbMDHS @ONJCRI @LIMSLTU Thanks to all our collaborators!! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congrats to Coner Kearney, Mario Djajawi, and @PijpersLizzy for this beautiful study. Awesome collaboration between @PeterMacRes and @ONJCRI. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

🥳 Great news! $1.2M @nhmrc Ideas Grant awarded to CI’s Conor Kearney #ONJCRI, Stephin Vervoort @WEHI_research & associate investigators to identify new immune checkpoint targets in #cancer to improve #immunotherapies Congrats @Kearney_Lab @Vervoort_Lab @latrobe [1/2]

Two weeks left to apply to join the @Vervoort_Lab at @WEHI_research supported by @SnowMedical Do you want to explore the unknown in the field of gene regulation? Do you love #Genomics #CRISPR #Transcription? Then we are looking for you 🫵 Plz share 📥 wehi.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WEHI/job…

Congratulations to @PijpersLizzy and supervisors @JohnstoneRicky @Vervoort_Lab, a fantastic body of work for a PhD thesis!

Thanks Austin Medical Research Foundation @AustinMRF1 for #grants to further research into breast cancer and predicting colorectal cancer patient outcomes! bit.ly/3VJZ8zy Well done Camilla Reehorst, @conorkearney88 @drbhupinderpal, Jimmy Chan, Amr Allam, Zhipeng Cao
